Mitt Romney didn’t exactly fire Ric Grenell, who is gay, as his foreign policy spokesman. But when the religious right got wind of Grenell’s hiring, his job started to shrink.
Grenell was told to sit in on conference calls with reporters and not say anything, which is tantamount to firing him. He was told to be silent not merely on gay issues. He was told not to talk about anything, even foreign policy. A spokesman who is not allowed to speak -- even internally -- doesn’t have much of a job. So Grenell quit, three weeks after he was hired.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-03/mitt-romney-s-bigotry-needs-no-spokesman.htmland yet, the self-loathing Grenell, still supports Romney.. I must ask.. "How". How did he draft statements condemning civil rights issues, like gay marriage,that went against his own self interest? How could he give his voice, if asked, that gays such as himself, can't marry because they would ruin the specter of real marriage? I can't even get in the "Why" of Romney even hiring the openly gay man if he was just going to dump him later when his party got their panties in a twist, I mean,
he's done it before so it shouldn't be a surprise to Grenell or anyone else for that matter.. a panderer, with no real convictions is going to do what a panderer with no real conviction is going do.. But how could Grenell or any other homosexual stay in a party that would see them rounded up and euthanized if they could?
That's a mystery, I think, that will never be solved..
Atleast this instance puts to rest the idea that Romney's a 'hard- nosed businessman, ready to make the tough decisions that professional politicians won’t'.. and most of all, it proves that hey can be forced to do the bidding of the squealer's in his party..
